Fancy Plates

Break out the fine china, or put one gilded salad plate atop an everyday set to make each place setting feel special. A runner of greenery and blooms is a low-profile floral option that's easy for guests to chat over.

Woodsy Centerpiece

This five-minute centerpiece is as easy as filling a glass container with unshelled nuts, faux cranberries, pine cones, cinnamon sticks and dried citrus. Centered on a polished wood slice, the table's good to go.
